Claiming
1] any male wolf may have a pack. there are no separate pack lands. instead, a male with the air element simply has his pack anywhere in the air territory. in order to keep track of your pack, post a thread in the main land you wish your pack to live in's board with the name of your pack. let an admin know and they will sticky it. just because a pack is mainly located in one area doesn't mean members cant go other places, they can.
2] males may NOT claim females, females may choose to join a pack. be aware that starting a pack is POINTLESS unless its going to have 10 or more members.
3] just because you're an alpha doesn't mean you can kill everyone. you may be rough with your members though.

6] ONE LITTER PER MONTH for each female.
7] a staff member will decide your puppies' appearances and such once you post the stats of the mom and dad in your thread in the breeding grounds. the title of the thread must be dad x mom = puppies. replace dad and mom with the names of the characters.

Elemental Powers
powers are rated with one *, two **'s, or three ***'s. one is basic, three is advanced. you may start out with one power that is basic. in your mini profile there will be a counter like money on some sites. this is called your star point counter. it's represented by a *. when you get 100 points you may buy another power by pming saphyri to tell her which power you'd like. 100 points buys a BASIC POWER, a one * power. when you have all of the one star powers you may advance to the two star powers. you buy these with 250 star points. advanced powers are bought with 500 star points. ps, your wolf only uses its power when it wants. just put in that out there in case there were dumb people lurking... o.o pps, four ****'ed things are uber special. you may request that ability from saphy once you have the others but she may not grant you it. suck up to her and you'll have a better chance[::::

****can move through objects and other wolfs with ease such as a ghost. [counts as a block when used to allow another wolfs attack to pass through them]
****ability to turn into wind to travel. you cannot harm others. this counts as a block if you're being attacked and do this to avoid. little white feathery specks represent your wolf as they travel like in the narnia movies with the trees cept...white specks instead of leaves[:
